Nothing says college snowboarding like jibbing a stack of empty kegs.The Temple University Snowboard Club, also known as TUSC, were the winners of the first annual Ima Betta Jibba contest. With record setting snowfalls in the Philadelphia area, the timing couldn't have be better for a Rome crew along with photog Oli Croteau to hop in a van and drive south for some good backyard snowboard fun.Will Lavigne was there to ride and Eiki Helgason participated by spending 10 hours in airports with cancelled flights all around since the mid-Atlantic was being pounded with snow. (maybe next year Eiki) TUSC's a great crew. Super stoked on snowboarding and a blast to hang out with. Start planning your park for the second annual Ima Betta Jibba contest, going down next season.
